Livingston

Livingston has 118 MW of clean power (mostly onshore wind) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 91,000 homes. No wind farm here is paid to switch off. Almost every pound of that money goes to wind farms in Scotland, where there is not enough wire capacity to carry the power south. The cost is shared across every bill in Britain, so households here pay too: about £92 a year per household, £4.1m across the constituency's 44,193 homes. There is also 64 MW of wind running here on the local network. If that gets switched off, no national record shows it.

Ranks 51 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
